So my friend Deirdre came in from out of town this weekend. I haven't seen her in a year and a half. We got together yesterday, and because she and her husband are big-time Whovians, 'together' meant spending 9 AM to 7 PM on line together waiting to get into the advance screening of the two-part season premiere of Doctor Who.

IT'S TOTALLY WEIRD, I KNOW

*cough* sorry. Um. No spoilers unless specifically asked for 'em. But it was pretty awesome.

I'll say this about the line experience. Early on, apparently Matt Smith and Karen Dillan came by and dropped off several boxes of Dunkin Donuts for the people on line. I got one of them (and was rather glad of the timing, as Deirdre and her husband had both already gotten bagels but I hadn't gone for food yet). Somewhat later, a homeless guy came around begging. I told him, truthfully, that I had no cash, and he went on to the next people; then he asked what we were on line for. We told him we were going to see a TV show called Doctor Who, and several people tried to answer his questions, but he eventually just kept moving. Somewhat later he came back and shouted, in that tone of people everywhere who've ever made fun of nerds, "Hey, your Doctor, he's not coming! The Doctor, he's not ever gonna be coming!"

Which prompted a chorus of "He already came! He brought us donuts!"

I still think that sounds like something that would actually happen on the show.

I don't watch Doctor Who...but damn I wish I had been there for the chorus response. XD

That's kind of the most perfect summation of the show I've ever heard. "The Doctor, he's not ever gonna be coming!" "He already came! He brought us donuts!"

Yeah, that's kind-of perfect. :)
